Hi Cathy -
As the message suggests, your hard drive was not formatted with
either ext2 or ext3, which are the only supported filesystems for the
local AFS cache on Linux.
A fairly straightforward alternative is to keep the AFS cache entirely
in memory, instead of on disk. To enable this, edit
/etc/openafs/afs.conf, and find the line that sets the OPTIONS variable
(should be line 65 or so). Edit that line to say
OPTIONS="-stat 10000 -daemons 6 -volumes 200 -memcache"
Then run `sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client restart`
